    I agree. There are lots of good looking wheels. Just don't do chrome.

    Fuel rims aren't shit, and both Fuel and Method are made in China. You may have hit something hard enough to bend or damage a wheel, but chances are the same would have happened with Method. Fuel wheels are more oriented towards a mall crawler rather than an offroader, but their wheels aren't junk by any means.

    If you want to change up the look and go with Method shoot me a PM, I can get you a discount on Method wheels. Also Fuel for that matter :spy:

    Centerline in the late 90's had a really nice six lug truck wheel that looked like a five star convo. I wish they still made them. I'm not fan of blacked out wheels they're kind of like the barbwire tattoo for trucks

    Just get bigger tires then any 17" rim will be ok! :D
    I went with Method NV in 17s with a 35" tire.
    I was looking at some fuel trophys, but I hate the fact we have drums on the rear so I went with methods lol. There's something bad to say about any wheels if you dig around. I wouldn't call either one shit though just get some style you like and who cares what other people think.:luvya:

    Here's another photo, hope it gives you a better idea. The tires have recently been replaced by 285/70 17 Copper STT Pros, 39 1/4" at front finder lip.
